Gov. Ricardo Rosselló asks local Justice Department to investigate whether there was criminal intent to deprive island of critical power grid supplies

Puerto Rico’s governor asked justice officials to investigate allegations that critical power grid supplies were stockpiled instead of put to use rebuilding the U.S. territory’s infrastructure following a devastating recent hurricane.

Gov. Ricardo Rosselló said Thursday that the Puerto Rico Justice Department probe would uncover “whether there was a commission of crimes or negligent action.”
